A U.S. Marine veteran is considered stateless, as the government is not recognizing her birth certificate. She was given birth by a midwife, in Texas, as her mother was scared of being deported. Although her birth certificate was recognized by the military, the U.S. government did not recognize it when she filed for a passport.

Palestinian man fled from Gaza, in order to seek refuge in the United States. He has been in a state detention Centre for over a year. He was denied refugee status. As the United States does not recognize Palestine as a state, he cannot be deported.
